Definitions

  • the present invention relates to grip attachments for footwear and more particularly to demountable footwear grips for attachment to footwear for use during sporting activities.
  • studs or hard plastics material protrusions are provided to improve grip and many types of sport footwear have spikes (notably "running spikes"), removable metal studs or moulded plastics material studs, for example, in rugby or soccer boots or patterned moulded cleats adapted for use on specific surfaces, such as artificial grass, cinder or rubberised tarmac.
  • AB discloses a footwear system comprising a shoe or trainer having a grooved pattern in the sole and a grip unit adapted to fit into the grooved pattern and over the heel and toe of the modified footwear.
  • the grip unit includes clusters of spikes allowing the footwear to be quickly converted between "running spikes", for example, and ordinary training shoes.
  • Further embodiments of the disclosure illustrate grip units adapted to engage fixing means within the sidewalls of the sole thereby obviating the over-heel and over-toe straps.
  • the primary disadvantage of the arrangements disclosed is that footwear must be modified very specifically to the grip unit and this alone takes away from the convenience and adaptability required by the majority of users.
  • grip attachments often referred to as "ice grippers” characterised by an elastomeric body having sole and heel grips or studs and a shaped toe engaging or toe receiving portion and a corresponding heel engaging portion.
  • the gripper is attached to the user's footwear by pulling the heel portion rearwardly from the engaged toe portion to overcome the elastomeric force of the attachment and released to secure the attachment about the heel of the footwear.
  • Typical of such disclosures are United States Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0045190 to Washburn; Japanese Patent Publication No. 9- 313210 to Ocean KK; and Japanese Patent Publication No. 2001-252106 to Matsumoto, where the grip attachments are secured to the footwear by the resilience of the elastomeric material alone.
  • ice grippers are aimed primarily at temporarily providing enhanced grip to allow users to walk over short distances, for example, from vehicle to home or office building or to walk to a local store, and are not intended for long distances or rugged terrain. It will be appreciated that any activities that have an element of lateral or sideways force will result in these attachments slipping, twisting or otherwise disengaging from the footwear.
  • runners or trainers are the footwear of choice for children and it is to the situation where football boots (for soccer, rugby or other variations of such games) or other grip-enhanced footwear is forgotten or not available that the present invention is directed.
  • the present invention provides a grip attachment for footwear to enable a wearer to engage in sporting activities, the grip attachment being securable so that it does not slip, twist or otherwise disengage from the footwear to which it is secured during said sporting activities, the grip attachment comprising: a body having a heel region and a forefoot region connected by a linkage portion defining a central spine; a plurality of grip retaining elements to support grip components; and a plurality of footwear securing elements, including a retaining member adapted to engage the foot aperture of said footwear.

  • the grip attachment preferably comprises a non-stretchable plastics material adapted to flex along its longitudinal axis so as to conform substantially to the normal flexing of footwear. It will be appreciated by the skilled addressee that in order to achieve the objectives of the invention, it will be necessary to minimise any lateral or rotational flexing of the grip attachment with respect to the normal flexing of footwear through a step. Thus, by use of stiffening sections or regions of increased thickness or rigidity, lateral or rotational flexing is attenuated to prevent the grip attachment disengaging from the footwear during sporting activities.
  • One or more of the grip retaining elements may extend laterally from the central spine of the body and include further stiffening sections or torsion elements to prevent the or each grip component on the grip retaining elements from being twisted out of its normally depending in use position.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une attache de semelle antidérapante pour chaussure afin de fournir une adhérence améliorée sur des surfaces de course et de jeu durant des activités sportives. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, l'attache de semelle antidérapante comprend un corps moulé ayant des régions de talon et de pied avant supportant des éléments de retenue de semelle antidérapante auxquels des composants de semelle antidérapante, tels que des crampons, des pointes ou des pics, sont fixés. Un élément de retenue d'engagement avec le talon s'étend à partir de l'attache pour venir en prise avec l'ouverture de pied de la chaussure qui, conjointement avec des sangles ou d'autres éléments de fixation, fixe l'attache de semelle antidérapante à une chaussure ou une basket de telle sorte qu'elle ne glisse pas, ne tourne pas ou autrement ne se désengage pas de la chaussure durant lesdites activités sportives.
